A man has been arrested for allegedly raping a six-year-old boy in Cegcuwana Village in Butterworth on Sunday, Eastern Cape police said.

The 27-year-old allegedly raped the boy inside a neighbour’s pit toilet around 11:45 on Sunday, Captain Jackson Manatha said. According to Manatha, the mother was tipped off about the rape while it was in progress and subsequently alerted community members in the area who called the police.

The man was arrested and is expected to appear in the Butterworth Magistrate’s Court on Monday on a rape charge.
